r-'- ^ : ? ; ?<S;V / THE BOLL WEEVIL IN ABOUT FOUR YEARS IT WILL REACH THIS STATE. .. i Oar Farmers Should lkigin to Prepare to Fight and Throttle This Great Pest. The Augusta Herald says the boll weevil Is a tangible evil, a terrible pest. The farmers of Texas have realised this years ago. The farmers of Louisiana have learned it. since, and ithe farmers of' Mississippi are learning it now Thin I insect doesn't destroy all the cotton, but wherever it makes its appeal ance its ravages so groatly reduco the yield that cotton growing becomes unprofitable. Ever since Its first appearance in Texas a fight has been made on it. Individual farmers have done all they could <to check its spread. The state governments qf. the states affected aided in the work, and the federal government wen-J. to the limit of its resources aiding'in the flgh4. but all to no avail. No method has been discovered to exterminate these weevils where they have once appeared, nor even to check their advance. This has been steady. From the district* first Infested the boll weevil has moved eastward and northward steadily and almost regularly, so that It now only.appears now that the entire cotton belt" will be affected. but almost the time may be set for Its apearance in any county, or when there shall be no uninfested district left. * . ' Ab yet there are no bool weevils in Georgia, but unless a method is found for fighting the pest* more sue cessful than any so far discovered, the time is near when Georgia also will be the loser by its ravages. In anticipation of this coming calar.i- : ity a great convention is to bo held ! in the near future in Atlanta, which the situation will be fully discuseed and the best protective courte mapped out. On this same line the Southern railway, so greatly Interested Indirectly in the success of cotton growing, has issued a circular giving ad vice as to the best courso to pursue after the boll weevil shall have made its annMranro Thin 1. The destruction of the weevllB in the fall by burning all rubbish and material in aTtti about the field which might servo for' hiberna"ng quarters of the weevils. 2. Ttreaking (plowing) the soil as deep as conditions will allow. 2. The shallow winter cultivation of the soil if no cover crop is used. 4. Delaying the planting till the noil and temperature aro warm enough to make .It.safe. 5. The planting of early-matur ing varieties of cot/ton. 6. The use of fertilizers. 7. Leaving more space between the rows, and on ordinary uplands having a greater distance between plants in the row than is usually allowed. 8. The use of the section harrow before and after glinting and on the young cotton. 9. Intensive shallow cultivation. 10. Agitation of the stalks by means of brush attached to the cul tlvator. 11. Picking up and burning the squares that fall under the weevil conditions. especially during the first thirty or forty days of infestation. 12. Controlling the growth ol the plant if excessive by deep and close cultivation. 13. Selecting the seed. 14. T)he rotation of crops and the use of legumes. As soon as cotton can be gathered, if the stalks are still green an 1 growing, kill all unhatched weevi.s in squares and immature boils, and at the same time deprive the adult weevils of food and breeding grounds by Immediately cutting and burning all the cotton stalks. The earlier this can be done the better. Where a sufficient number of eatltle can be turned into the field to eat It clean in a few days <thls may be done, instead of cutting and burning the stalks. In heavy soils, where the winter rainfall is heavy, It may answer ?o cut the stalks and plow them under, but care must be taken to have the stalks completely covered and turned as deeply as possible. Thin section Is still remote from the Infested disttiet.'and it is to he hoped that some method will be discovered for exterminating this peat, before It shall reach here. Killed Herself. At Chicago, while her fiance, David Nathan, was in the county building gett'ng a marriage license for the wedding that was to have taken place Tuesday, Miss Annie Neyberg, the bride to-be, committed suicide, following a quarrel with her prospective mother-in-law, who on learning of the wedding plans objected. ('ruslied to Death. At Cleveland, Ohio, the wife of Simon Frutkin, a tailor, his two small children and a customer were crushed to doaih by the collapse or a new concrete building. An explosion of unknown origin is believed to have caused the disaster. WOKKED THE HOODOO GAME. Old Negro Woman Film Flammed 0 Out of Her Money. Ann Thompson, an old colored wo- | man, who lives a few miles fro?j j this city over In the Fork, claimB to have been film flammed out of * 75, which she had laid aside to r iy a debt, by a slick rascal of he own ! color, whom she entertain d one' night, and who claims to > j a hoo- ' doo doctor, with powers t , make all ; things come to pass. .tin believed j in him at first, b>'' ^ne doesn't any | more. I o inat the slick rascal came along about last Thursday and j knocked at the hospitable door of Ann Thompson, who occupied a cosy cabin with her husband, whom she had married only a few weeks before. The stranger was taken In, and somehow he fouud out that Ann had $75 saved up with which she was to pay a debt she owed a white gentleman of the neighborhood for supplies or rent, or both. He then let out by accident that he wns a hoodoo doctor, and If Ann would commit to his care a few minutes her $75 she would find when she went to pay her debt that her $75 had increased to $100, which would leave her $25 after her debt was paid. She gave him the $75, which, after many incantations and hoodoo mumblings, he pretended to wrap up in a bag, and told Ann to let it remain unopened for a day or -two. Ann agreed to do this and all went happy to bed. Next morning when Ann and her husband went out they found that their guest had departed during the night, and, ns the sequel proved had carried the $75 with him. As soon as the stranger was missed, they took down the box in which he had claimed to have put Ann's $75, and all they found was some old tobacco tago and pieces of bright tin. No trace of the film flam artist could bo found. Ho had gone with Ann's $75, .and she is now somewhat poorer, but wiser about hoodoo doctors. ?The Orangeburg Times and Dom-1 ocrat. AUGUSTA TAKKS CENSUS. Which Shows u Gain |Over United States Census Iteport. The population of the city of Augusta -s 41,2!)5, according to the count taken Sunday by 300 volunteer enumerators, composed of all classes of people, including many of the most wealthy and prominent | 1 business men. This compares 1 against the official count of 37,826 1 sent out by the census bureau last 1 week, and 39,4 41 as the official ceni sus 10 years ago. The city's count shows that the federal enumerators missed 3.460 people in the city, and, in substantiation of this a member of council, acting as a volunteer enumerator, reports an entire district, in the ward wherein he was working, which had never been visited by the federal enumerators. Every ward in the city shows an increase over the federal report. WOULD HI/OW UP THINGS. The Trunk of a Hlack Hand Filled ~ ?? mi nX|HU!tlVC8. Explosives enough to blow the city hall into fragments were found in a trunk in the police clerk's office at Cincinnati Wednesday afternoon. I The trunk has been kicked from corner to corner for the last two months with no regard to delicate handling. The trunk was found by local detectives last September while searching the room for several men who were suspected of being members of the , black hand. Wednesday afternoon, when it was decided to store the trunk, it was cleaned out thoroughly and in the bottom were found two packages of explosives marked "thirty per cent, nltro glycerine.'
